This is what i heard from my mom and dad. My dad used to work as a physician in PHC(primary health care center) in Chittoor dist in Andhra Pradesh. he heard one day from a villager who came to see him that they have been seeing this guy who is like 7 feet tall with lot of wounds on his body, some bleeding in the forest. they see him only once in a while and he told them his name is aswathama and he participated in mahabharatha war. they are not scared of him and dont think he is a bad omen. i think it is curse he travels all over india doing puja in siva temples. i will try to find more of the folklore from my area
hello daas ka daas
That is interesting I enjoy hearing stories like this.
Could you ask your folks to ask Aswathama if it would be ok to take a picture of him the next time he visits, it would be great if we had a picture of him
Thanks

Oh ok sorry, have just re-read what you wrote i.e. it being one of the villagers that he heard the story from, so never mind...
